Silent Hunter 4 Patch 1.1

[jeff lackey]

And so... I talked with my editor, and he has decided, since the patch is out before the program is out, to review the patched version and then make it very clear to the readers that you need to get and apply the patch for this review to be accurate.

So, things do change! I'm still not convinced it's the "right" thing to do, since they're shipping 1.0 to all the stores, but I can take advanatge of the leeway.

Plus - it means I can stop playing 1.0 and play the patched version (as soon as the official released patch is out) - it is always frustrating to have to play a game that has problems that you know are fixed in a patch.

Thank you Jeff,

Same here, I'm reviewing the patched version (for a monthly gaming mag). If they read the review, they'll know they need the patch, so it all works out. No idea what the score will be though, ask me when I'm done writing :-).

And while some mags live on ad revenue, not all do. Our main source of income is sales and subscribers, and we don't let advertisers tell us what to write.

That's good news jeff ... do you have others like yourself that you could influence in the publishing business to do the same?

Uhmm? maybe a little coffee mug could be in your future ...

Good news? Apparently the patch can cause a CTD when trying to change depth by clicking on the depth meter... I suppose the question is whether that is better or worse than a crashing stadimeter and the lack of imperial units.

Hey dude - I collect coffee mugs. Mugs with any kind of military symbols especially (grew up following F-4s in an Air Force family.) So I can be bribed. Well, not for reviews or anything related to integrity, but I'm sure we could work something out for a good coffee mug. LOL!
